In the year 1923, the British Government established a Public Service
Commission to examine the salary structure of the Indian Civil Service.
The Commission was composed of four Englishmen and four Indian with Lord
Lee of Fareham serving as its Chairman. The Commission also addressed
the rate of Indianization of the Indian Civil Service and the Indian
Police. It determined a rate which in fifteen years would make the
Indian Civil Service with a fifty per cent Indian membership and the
same in twenty-five years for the Indian Police.

It was left largely to the discretion of provincial Governments to
recruit and exercise control over their Services, as they thought
proper. As a result of the discretionary powers left to provincial
Government, the Government of Madras and Punjab proposed to set up their
Public Service Commissions.
The Madras Service Commission thus came into being under an Act of the
Madras Legislature in 1929. Madras Presidency had the unique honour, of
being the only province in India to establish the first Service
Commission.
The Madras Service Commission started with three Members, including
the Chairman. After re-organisation of States in 1957, several
Commissions were constituted. The Madras Service Commission became
Madras Public Service Commission with headquarters at Madras in the year
1957. During 1970, when the name of the State was changed into Tamil
Nadu, the Madras Public Service Commission automatically became the
Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC).
In view of its important and impartial function, Public Service
Commissions rightly find a place of pride in the Indian Constitution.
Articles 16, 234, 315 to 323 deal with various functions and powers of
the Public Service Commissions. The working of Tamil Nadu Public Service
Commission is also regulated by Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission
Regulation, 1954 and the TNPSC Rules of Procedure.
